Barnett advances the macrosociological thesis that, in nations that are structurally complex and democratically governed, concepts and doctrines of law on society-central social activities are fashioned by society-level conditions, not by particular (or even prominent) individuals. Because a substantial body of social science research has found that law in a modern nation does not have a large, permanent effect on the frequency of such activities, the book contends that the content of law on the activities is a product, not a determinant, of the society in which the law exists. Explaining Law bolsters this contention with several original studies, and illustrates types of quantitative evidence that can be used to build a macrosociological theory of law. 410 0$aInternational studies in sociology and social anthropology ;$vVolume 124. 606 $aLaw$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aSociological jurisprudence 606 $aMacrosociology 606 $aSocial change 615 0$aLaw$xSocial aspects 615 0$aSociological jurisprudence. 615 0$aMacrosociology. 615 0$aSocial change. 676 $a340.115 700 $aBarnett$b Larry D.$0849777 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827645703321 996 $aExplaining law$93981248 997 $aUNINA
